When one door closes, another one opens.

ShelbyMilk-thank you for your comments. Your Dark Horse sounds interesting. Though, I have a plan. I just paid off the BMW. Though I am retired, I have a part-time job as a college sports official. My season will be coming up, and I intend to use the proceeds from that, along with my...

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I'm probably a month or two from making an order. There's no sense in ordering right now, having the car arrive in the dead of winter, and not driving it until spring. I stored the BMW during winter, and I intend to do the same with this car. So, I...

Thank you to all who read this, and might respond! My first post! I enjoy driving, and I enjoy having a manual transmission. I've owned one for the last 45 years of my 71. I have owned three BMWs, all with a stick. However, I got caught up in BMW phasing out (mostly), manual transmissions...

Good for you! I'm kind of curious, since I have family in NOVA. Was it Koons?

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. My salesperson says that it will be a while until the 2025 MY is on the configurator. He did feel that Grabber Blue would hang around. We will see. Thanks for the thoughts on Magneride. As one of you said, maybe it's time to scratch the itch...

I'll give the Mustang club some serious consideration. I joined the BMW CCA when I bought my first BMW in '09. Basically, it gives you a $500 rebate. The BMW dues are higher, though their magazine is pretty good, even if they run too many EV articles. When I bought my '22 340i in the fall of...

Thank you for the replies. I am going to drive it. If I'm sold on getting one, I'd probably wait until December/January to order one. I'd hate to order now, only to have it arrive just in time for me to put it away for the winter. My other considerations are an M2, or an Integra Type S...

New member here--Hello to all! Long story short--When I retired in 2009, I bought a BMW 1-series. It was fun to drive, not super fast, but quick enough, and had a stick (I ordered it). Fifteen years later, I still own a BMW--It's an M340i. It's a nice car, entertaining to drive in the right...
